One of the most disheartening situations for women happens after an unfortunate breast cancer surgery. Mastectomy is the ultimate surgical solution by which the cancer-affected breast is removed by surgical process. This turns out to be a truly tormenting time. First, a woman finds it extremely difficult to accept herself as a woman without a breast. Second, she has to handle the tricky dressing-up situation. She has to do some ‘filling’ in the place where once she had a breast.
Once she undergoes mastectomy, she has to go through the healing time when she has to go for a soft material shaped to look like a breast fit it into her dress top without betraying the condition. Past this period, one challenge she faces is to get the right prosthesis and the other is to find the right bra.
First choosing prosthesis in Dubai will take some home work. There are two kinds of breast prostheses available – silicon and non-silicon. One advantage with the silicon ones is that they make the woman feel good and they look natural too.
The non-silicon or foam prosthesis gives you a better feel of comfort. It is especially preferable for those doing rigorous activities such as physical work outs. The wearer will also find this more comfortable in hot weather. But, with this type, one will have to compromise on the natural feel and looks that the silicon type offers.
There is also what is called partial prosthesis, which is also known as shaper. This will be very helpful for women who will have undergone partial mastectomy. This prosthesis is designed so that it fits well over the existing breast tissue and gives the breast a fuller look. These partial prostheses are come in different varieties – made of silicon, or foam, or fiber fill. This fits well in regular bras.
Talking of mastectomy bras, they are designed with posthethesis holders embedded. The task here is to select two external components – the right prosthesis and a properly fitting bra – in order to make up for what a woman will have lost due to surgery. A well thought out choice can restore the lost confidence and mental comfort in a woman. Apart from this, such choice will also feel very good for the wearer and look pretty natural to people around her. Some of the well known brands that are available in Dubai: Anita, Nicola Jane, Amoena, and Camp.
If one finds such choice-making too difficult, there are very helpful consultants who offer a great deal of assistance in the process and help you in obtaining a set that goes very well with your life style and will please you a lot.
It is also interesting to know that there are many insurance companies which provide insurance cover for both the prosthesis and the mastectomy bras. You can secure proper and useful information on this aspect from a consultant.
In brief, the every expanding lingerie technology has come as a god-send for mastectomy cases, without which it will be hard to imagine what a woman will really do in an unlucky event of undergoing a mastectomy operation.
